Writing String to Text File

Question

I am saving a log to a .txt file on the sdcard but once there is two lines saved, it overwrites it and starts over?

Here is my code:

public static Strin

I am able to append the file using your code, can you please check this code

    import java.io.BufferedWriter;
    import java.io.FileWriter;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import java.util.Date;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    import java.util.Locale;

    public class Test {
        public static String getTimestamp() {
            try {

                SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(
                        "MMMdd HH:mm:ss", Locale.getDefault());
                String currentTimeStamp = dateFormat.format(new Date());

                return currentTimeStamp;
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();

                return null;
            }
        }

        public static void writeToLog(String string) {
            String text = getTimestamp() + " " + string;
            // ONLY SAVES TWO LINES
            try {
                PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(
                        new FileWriter("c:/log.txt", true)));
                out.println(text);
                out.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
            }
        }

        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            writeToLog("Connected to WIFI");

        }
    }
